Davidson reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The Central Missouri product made his first appearance of the season in the Bills' Week 11 win over the Chiefs, playing 15 total snaps (11 offensive and four on special teams) and catching his only target for five yards. He could return to Buffalo's active roster for the Week 13 matchup against the 49ers if Dalton Kincaid (knee) has not fully recovered after the bye week.

Zach Davidson: Lands opportunity
Rotowire
Davidson signed a contract with the Bills' practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
Davidson was the team's leading receiver during the preseason, which wasn't enough to keep him on the active roster but did land him a spot on the practice squad. With Quintin Morris (shoulder) looking iffy for Week 1 against the Cardinals, Davidson could be promoted early.

Zach Davidson: Let go by Buffalo
Rotowire
Davidson was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.
Davidson compiled a team-high 50 receiving yards on five catches during the preseason, but he ultimately didn't do enough to crack the initial 53-man roster. If the tight end clears waivers, he has a good shot of joining the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 season.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Battling for depth role
Rotowire
Davidson (undisclosed) is competing for one of the Bills' final roster spots at tight end this offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Davidson missed the entire 2023 campaign after the Bills placed him on injured reserve last June. The nature of the 25-year-old's injury was never disclosed, though he looks to be past the issue now that he's being viewed as a candidate for a depth role at tight end. Davidson's primary competition for slotting behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox should come from Tre' McKitty and Quintin Morris.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Hits injured reserve
Rotowire
The Bills placed Davidson on injured reserve Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, ending his 2023 campaign, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davidson, a 2021 fifth-round pick by Minnesota, spent the 2022 campaign on the Bills' practice squad and then signed a futures deal with Buffalo in January. However, he'll either miss the entire 2023 campaign or will have to come to an injury settlement with the Bills after apparently suffering an injury at some point during the team's offseason program. Davidson has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Staying in Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills signed Davidson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.
Davidson was a fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2021 and was a member of the team's practice squad as a rookie. The 6-foot-7 tight end was then waived ahead of the 2022 season and spent the entire campaign with the Bills' practice squad. Davidson now will look to see the field in regular-season action for the first time with Buffalo during the 2023 season.

Zach Davidson: Waived by Vikings
Rotowire
Minnesota waived Davidson on Tuesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.
No surprise here, as Davidson figured to have long odds in terms of making the final roster. He was No. 4 on the tight end depth chart heading into roster cuts. This outcome mirrors last season, as he was cut by the Vikings during final cuts and subsequently spent the year on their practice squad.
